[Intro]

I'm dying lately


[Chorus]

And it's all in my head, words I know I should've said

I'd rather hate you instead, I keep your letters in the bed

I'd rather leave 'em unread, don't make me think what could've been

No, I said never again, now I spin and I spin around, I'm wastin' my time

So many questions, I'll just keep 'em in the back of my mind

It's just a lesson that I learned, I had to set you aside

Another memory to burn, I set the flame out of spite

Then I spin and I spin around


[Verse 1]

And now I try to make it through life one day at a time, the scars are hеalin' from the knife

Just a thorn in my side, it's nothin' I won't comе back from

It's only a scratch, maybe this is the last one that I'll ever have

But the rain falls down, just a little bit colder and the pain fades out

Like the burden from my shoulders, I made it through the weather

Never better, I pull myself together, even though you were swept

By the tide, I had to call off the search, I had to swallow the hurt

No there's nothin' to see, because unfortunately

You're nothin' more than a ghost, someone I don't even know


[Chorus]

And it's all in my head, words I know I should've said

I'd rather hate you instead, I keep your letters in the bed

I'd rather leave 'em unread, don't make me think what could've been

No, I said never again, now I spin and I spin around, I'm wastin' my time

So many questions, I'll just keep 'em in the back of my mind

It's just the lesson that I learned, I had to set you aside

Another memory to burn, I set the flame out of spite

Then I spin and I spin around, it's all in my head


[Verse 2]

I hope everything reminds you of me

I hope you feel me everytime when you're sleepin' alone

And you reach for the phone, and it makes you wonder

If you're all in my head, if you're all in my head


[Chorus]

And it's all in my head, words I know I should've said

I'd rather hate you instead, I keep your letters in the bed

I'd rather leave 'em unread, don't make me think what could've been

No, I said never again, now I spin and I spin around, I'm wastin' my time

So many questions, I'll just keep 'em in the back of my mind

It's just the lesson that I learned, I had to set you aside

Another memory to burn, I set the flame out of spite

Then I spin and I spin around, it's all in my head
